Sandeep | MEMORY FROM 1992

Seizure Video

LOCATION: living room , Huntsville, Alabama

YEAR: 1992

TAGS: music video

PUBLISHED: January 21, 2008

Does anyone remember the video to this track? Seriously, how many seizure did this video induce?

I remember obsessively staying up late on Sunday nights, the summer before my freshman year of college, to watch MTVs 120 minutes. Not only did I watch, but I had the VCR recording so I could transfer the tracks I liked to cassette for listening throughout the rest of the week. Living in Alabama, it was one of the few chances I had to hear "alternative" music.

Even though the intense AV experience of the video was making me queasy, I couldn't turn away. I couldn't recalling every hearing such an aggressive riff before. I was caught off guard by the bands clean cut demeanor. Why did these guys look like they shopped at TJ Max? Shouldn't they have long hair and tattoos? And ripped baggy jeans? They looked normal. Kinda dorky in fact. It gave me hope.

this is not the og video, but rather the first shoot:
